Here's an excerpt from Tales From the Imperial Legions:
Entering the spartan control room, Darth Vader paused ever-so subtly. Failure was the one thing he could never tolerate in his subordinates. And since he learned that from his dark master, a slight twinge of fear crept into his own mind as to what he would do to him. Never one to accept excuses, Vader would smply explain the situation as it happened.
"Come," beckoned Emperor Palaptine. "What of the Yavin campaign?"
"The Rebels have destroyed the Death Star, master," coldly replied Vader. "I was able to escape myself, but the station is gone."
"I sense you expect to be punished," said Palpatine. "And that certainly would be appropriate."
Vader actually felt himself weaken inside. This was an emotion he seldom felt.
"And what would be an appropriate penalty for the loss of so much power?" Palpatine gestured to his imperial dignitaries in the background. "Come. I think Lord Vader deserves congratulations."
Vader was stunned. How could he be congratulated for losing the Empire's ultimate weapon? It was ludicrous!
The dignitary was just about to clap his hands together, when Palaptine stopped his action his a wave of his hand. "Now, Vader," Palpatine said coyly. "I want you to never forget this. I was going to give you a hand for defeating the insignificant Rebels, but now you have lost it. Never forget this, my apprentice."
